NVIDIA GameStream for Switch (based on Moonlight Embedded)
⚠ This repository is archived and will have no future development.
Please take a look at alternatives such as Moonlight-Switch and Moonlight-NX.
Moonlight Switch allows you to stream your collection of games on your GeForce-equipped PC directly to your Nintendo Switch. Based on @irtimmer's wonderful moonlight-embedded.
This is currently in an utterly unusable state, since Nintendo Switch homebrew do not yet have access to the hardware video decoder (as of this writing). Once that functionality is available, however, Moonlight Switch should be ready to go shortly thereafter.
Requirements
- Nintendo Switch with homebrew capability
- GFE compatible computer with GeForce Experience 2.1.1 or higher
Quick start
- Deply:
- Edit
moonlight.inito change the IP address to that of your streaming PC. - On your SD card, create the folder
/switch/moonlight-switch/and placemoonlight.iniin that directory. - Send
moonlight-switch.nroto your device by either placing it in/switch/moonlight-switch/on your SD card, or usenxlink. To see stdout and stderr, use the-sserver option:nxlink -s moonlight-switch.nro
- Edit
- Running:
- Ensure your Nintendo Switch and streaming PC are on the same network
- Turn on Shield Streaming in the GFE settings
- Run the Moonlight Switch homebrew application
- Play games!
